Known as “the pioneer of Japanese whisky” Yamazaki® is Japan’s first and oldest distillery. Established in 1923 on the periphery of Kyoto, in a unique, misty region water and mountains offer diversity in nature and temperature, where conditions are ideal for ageing whisky lies the birthplace of Japanese whisky and Suntory’s flagship single malt, Yamazaki. Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve is the introduction to the brand. Respecting Yamazaki’s heritage and signature taste, we combine aged Yamazaki sherry cask and aged mizunara cask malt whiskies to create Distiller’s Reserve, a rich, easy-to-drink whisky with a round-bodied, profound and mature taste that is always luxurious, exclusive, knowledgeable, but never pretentious.
